Go ahead and put this on right here, so uh yeah hold on. Let's hear it so i'm here with jim uh, we recently did a uh a live podcast together, which uh you know didn't go as long. It was great, it didn't go as long as i had hoped, but that's, okay, so uh. So what have you been enjoying most at the show? So far jim? Oh, let's see most of the show, you know just the networking, probably more than anything seeing people i haven't seen it seems like two years seems like it's been a long time.

So it's good to just walk the floor and see people again yeah. It is and feel alive. It feels like okay, the industry's still here, people are still here right right right, so yeah yeah we're still uh still doing our thing actually yeah. The response over here has been really really positive.

People have been stopping by and saying nice things a lot of people ask about. You know what about you, mostly as usual, yeah as usual, all right, so i'm actually going to walk back, because i got to meet up so uh, i'm going to just i'm going to walk the floor. Getting hvac school text messages. Yes, we uh! Yes, we we uh, i i managed to put out posts and texts, even when i'm doing other things, that's incredible magic, yeah! Absolutely all right! Here we go.

I wanted to just give everybody all right, see you! I wanted to just give everybody kind of a look at what ahr is like, as i walk back to our meet and greets, which is up at the up at the bar between the podcast pavilions, because a lot of you don't who've, never gone, don't have a Sense of the scope of this thing and kind of what to expect so. This is just gon na be kind of a quick walk through and uh, we'll, maybe stop and see a few a few things along the way. This is the central hall. So there's actually two two halls that are similar in size to this packed full of of uh people from all around the world.

But a lot of you know a lot of your favorite tool: manufacturers um. Actually over there we've got big ass fans, make sure. Let's walk this way: a lot of equipment manufacturers, but then a lot of just component manufacturers. So one of the things that ahr is is it's not just for contractors and technicians, although it is that it's also for folks who are looking to source materials and parts and components for unitary systems for brands and manufacturers.

The ahr rotates generally between las vegas, atlanta, chicago and orlando. So next year is going to be in atlanta and then it's going to be back in chicago. We got a request to swing by the honeywell booth. Actually, i am going to be passing the honeywell booth here shortly.

I remember remember seeing it down here, so we have these two podcast pavilions, where we do a lot of live podcasts and in between them. Is this basically it's just tables and stuff, and that's where there's a bar, you can get some drinks so we're just doing a meet-up there with everybody got rector seal coming up here on the right. They've got a big boost. The versatech has a big booth as well, which would be kind of the equivalent of rector seal, but it's in the other side.

Actually, there is let's go this way because i just saw klein and yellow jacket. So, let's cycle back this direction, so i've got uh eric kaiser and his wife rachel. A lot of you know eric they're kind of walking the halls and doing interviews and things and then um. My wife leilani is meeting with a bunch of manufacturers.

My brother nathan, best known for his uh bathtub video this year and uh our technician jessica and her husband, craig, are both here with us as well and again, this event is, it's mostly, you know seeing new things connecting with people um going to dinner, with some Of the guys from esco and ruth king, a lot of you probably know ruth she's a great business mind in the trade, so we'll just walk around here. The yellow jacket, booth, just kind of take a look at what everybody's got here. Oh hey how's! It going! I'm doing a live video right now, good to see you got some nice tubing, expanders and benders and torque wrench. This is actually my favorite still my favorite torque wrench kit is this guy right here, very simple works.

Great! All right! Keep going here, get klein! So again, you know just a wide range of yeah hard hats. It looks like looks like they're just showing off their meters, which i actually think is a joint venture with uei. If i'm not mistaken, i'm not sure about that tako pumps, everything from the little small pumps to this big old, big boy. You know me, i know a whole lot about hydronics.

Not dyken has a really nice really nice booth. I mean there's a lot of variety in terms of uh, the types of designs and what people bring here. Some of these are just massive like what you see here, with diken and goodman and again, a lot of this is just it's a context for meeting people. So it's it's not just like, i said contractors and tax they're, meeting um reps, who help sell the products um everybody all the way down the supply chain and, as you know, right now, supply chain is such a big factor in our trade.

So there's a lot of people here who i know but a lot of them. You know a lot of them. I don't a lot of them are in the kind of part of the trade that i don't have. A lot of reference for durodyn here got a pretty cool booth set up here folks, over at april april, air nortec, nydek or us motors here emerson has an enormous presence here, as well with all their different brands got rude: httpg repack, it's ruegreen.

Here's our podcast pavilions pavilion number two: this is the location of our meetup and then number one over here.

We're all right next to carrier big old aquaforce, all right, so you get the point. That's the that's! Just a quick tour again! You know for those of you who come to ahr, this year's actually maybe a little bit lower key, because a lot of people can't make it a lot of cancellations that sort of thing, but still a massive massive event and uh.
